Y5P’s Class Trip to BMA

During the topic of cool vibrations, Y5P have been visiting Bristol MET Academy. We were split into groups and this is what we did.

Resistant Materials

In the Resistant Materials department (DT) we made instruments. Some children made a xylophone and others made a shaker using bells on a wooden frame. We made them using wood and screws.

We were able to use saws, bench hooks and drilling machines. We had to wear big goggles, which made us look really weird.

P.E. Workshop

In this workshop we played uni-hock and then did street dance.

During hockey, We learnt how to dribble, pass and shoot. We used these skills in relay races. When we had perfected our skills we played a small game of hockey.

Moving on from this, we had a street dance session. We learnt a routine and played a game called ‘Blackout’. In this, we turned off the lights and pulled around a black curtain. This made the room pitch black. We were screaming and shouting. We had to find each other through sound, just by listening.
